It’s one of 10 sites across the country vying for a $50,000 prize in the National Trust for Canada’s Next Great Save competition
The historic Duncan Train Station has pulled into the lead in a national competition among heritage sites that could earn the landmark $50,000 in funding.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Duncan station had almost 57,000 votes, ahead of La Vieille Maison in Meteghan, N.S., with almost 42,600 votes. “The press coverage has been fantastic,” said Cowichan Historical Society vice-president Sheila Kitson. “Every time the Duncan Train Station is highlighted, we get a surge of votes. We ask that people don’t become complacent and continue to vote daily.”
